How I Made Time To Tweet About How Busy I Am

How will people know how successful you are if you're not constantly reminding them via Twitter?

How I Made Time To Tweet About How Busy I Am
NPR

Listen, I know exactly what you're going through.

You're busy.

Like so busy.

Slammed. Overwhelmed. Booked.

When you hear someone say, "Okay, I'll try to pencil you in... I'm so slammed!" you think to yourself,

"Wow. They're so successful. They don't have time for anyone!" Am I right? Well, I'm not wrong. So how do you get to this point? You're not a businessman, and you don't have a secretary to tell everyone that you simply don't have any openings coming up. So how will people be impressed by how busy you are? I mean, you're so busy that you obviously don't have time to tell everybody...

I was like you, once. Then I realized that there is a way that I can be super busy and impressive, and still have time to let people know. You must make time.

I started by looking at my planner each day. Usually, I would realize that there just wasn't even a single minute to spare. Did I give up?

No.

Carve out an hour

I started carving an hour out each evening by any means necessary. Leave work early? Check. Ditch plans with friends and family? Double check.

Invest in apps

After I made the time, I remembered that I needed to tweet about how busy I am at convenient times so my posts get as much traffic as possible. I paid $30 for a post scheduling app to make sure that I never missed an opportunity to inform the public of my busy, busy life.

Plan

Okay, so now you have the time to tweet, and the means to ensure you're tweeting at the right times. Now you must plan out your tweets... I mean day. Let's see. The best times to tweet about how busy you are, are at 7 am (when people wake up and first check their phone), 12 pm (lunch break), 3 pm (coffee break), 5:30 pm (people are home for the night). Seems pretty difficult, but when you're a genius like me, you can figure it out.

Watch the responses roll in

Now that you're widely known in your area as a very successful busy person, what's left to do? Just sit back and watch how many people are impressed by you. They're probably thinking to themselves, "Wow, how did she even find the time to tweet all of this?". You're now an anomaly to them. They just don't understand, because they're not as successful as you.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
